things Motlow has to offer. . .

- Orientation will provide you the opportunity to
meet with an academic advisor and prepare for your
upcoming term.

- Advisement is a critical step in your college career
and will help you create a plan to meet your shortand
long-term educational goals.

- If you are not a first-time freshman and would
like academic advisement, please contact the
appropriate campus to schedule an appointment.

- During your orientation session, you will be given instructions regarding registration procedures using your
online MyMotlow student account. Personnel will also be available to assist you with registration.

Be sure your fees are paid by cash, check, debit/credit card, online deferred payment plan, or
ensure your financial aid payment is processed by the designated date to maintain your class
schedule for that semester. After your fees are paid, remember to confirm enrollment using
your MyMotlow account under the Student tab.

Just filing an application for aid does not complete your financial aid process. Continue to
check your e-mail and MyMotlow accounts for more important financial aid information.

- Once your fees have been paid, your student photo ID and parking decal can be obtained at any of the four
campus locations-Moore County, McMinnville, Smyrna, or Fayetteville.

MyMotlow and e-mail accounts for additional needed documentation to complete your financial
aid file (see Step 3). Processing and awarding of your financial aid can take 4-6 weeks to complete.
